I've had them with tuna, shrimp or other seafood and alfredo sauce (with
added cheese) -- they're GREAT! Thanks for reminding me that I need to
get some more!

I also have them with spaghetti sauce. I don't care for them in soup so
much, for some reason, even though I LOVE soup. Aside from the low-carb
aspect, what's really nice about shiritaki noodles is that they stay al
dente, no matter how long they sit in liquid, so I can make up several
servings of something and keep them in the fridge for several days
without ever getting mushy noodles.

I find them in the cold TOFU section of my (large) local Asian grocery
store, not in the cold noodle section.
